This is an interactive map of recorded crime in Europe. Every number comes from an official source. That means national police forces and government statistics offices. There are no scraped news stories here, and no user guesses.
Start with the whole continent. Pick a country. Then zoom in to see districts, towns and neighbourhoods. In some countries you can go all the way down to a single street.
Each number is a rate per 1,000 residents. This lets you compare a big city and a small town in a fair way. Colours and rankings stay inside one country. We never place a number from one country next to a number from another, because each country counts crime in its own way.
Read the map with care. City centres and tourist areas often look worse than they feel. They have many visitors but few residents, so the rate per resident goes up. Grey areas simply mean there is no reliable official data. Grey never means a place is unsafe.
